Ladykiller: The Drew Peterson Story will recount Peterson's legal troubles after he was charged with the murder of his third wife and the disappearance of his fourth wife.

Peterson, who is currently serving time in an Illinois jail awaiting trial, has filed a cease and desist letter against the network, insisting they end production on the biopic immediately.

"First and foremost, we want to make sure Drew gets an unbiased jury pool," defence attorney Joel Brodsky told the Chicago Sun-Times. "But even after the trial, if these people are making money from the use of his name, why shouldn't Drew get some of that money? It's his story."

Peterson's argument is that the movie will be a 'character assassination' that could influence potential jury members ahead of his trial.

Lowe recently confirmed that he has landed a guest role on the new season of Showtime drama Californication.
